Question: ( 4 0 points ) 2 . An air - conditioning system is to take in outdoor air ( state 1 ) at 1 0

(40 points)
2. An air-conditioning system is to take in outdoor air (state 1) at 10C,30 percent relative humidity and a humidity ratio of 0.0023. It is conditioned to (state 3) humidity ratio of 0.0121. The steady intake volumetric flow rate of dry air is 45m3min. The outdoor air is first heated to (state 2)20C in the heating section and then humidified by the injection of hot water mist in the humidifying section. Assuming the entire process takes place at a pressure of 100 kPa , determine the following (do not use the Psychometric chart):
Cp,air=1.005kJkgK,Rair=0.287kJkgK
55.375kgmin(a) mass flow rate of dry air (15)
6.617 kW
(b) the required heat transfer rate in the heating section (15)
ggmin(c) the required mass flow rate of hot steam in the humidifying section (10)
